In this article, we'll guide you through the process of displaying both the start and stop times in a report using Desktop Report Writer. Follow the steps below to achieve this:
- Open Desktop Report Writer
- Click Office > Edit Report Docs
- Find the document in the Open Document window named intro, click it once to select it, and then click OK.
- In the "intro" document, you will already find the start time indicated by the merge field reportinfo.starttime. No further action is needed for the start time.
- Now, let's add the end time to the report. You have two options for how you'd like to display it:
- Option 1: Start And End time on the Same Line
- Locate the reportinfo.starttime merge field.
- Replace it with the following line:
-
Start: *reportinfo.starttime* End: *reportinfo.stoptime*
- Option 2: Start and End Time on Separate Lines
- Find the reportinfo.starttime merge field.
- Create a new line underneath it.
- Type or paste the following merge field on the new line:
-
*reportinfo.stoptime*
- Option 1: Start And End time on the Same Line
- Click the blue disk icon to save your changes, then hit the red X in the upper right-hand corner of the window to close the document. Save the document again when prompted.
The end time will also be displayed when you print or upload a report.
